See all facilities…Briarfields is a family owned touring campsite and motel. We are open all year round situated just two and a half miles from Regency Cheltenham town centre and six miles from Gloucester.
Our site is ideally situated for experiencing Regency Cheltenham, visiting Gloucester with its wonderful Cathedral, dockside and the new Quays Outlet shopping centre. We are well positioned as a base to explore the lovely Cotswolds villages and experience the diversity of the Royal Forest of Dean. Also we are well placed for just relaxing for an overnight stop whilst breaking your journey (two minutes from M5 Junction 11).
Our pitches are mostly level hard standings alongside well maintained lawns and are within easy access of the modern heated toilet/washroom facilities including disabled suite.
An attractive separate unspoilt area in the centre is set aside for tents and our large pitches can accommodate large modern tents. Parking is also available beside your tent during dry weather, and electric hook-ups are available on request.
Situated in the centre of the site is our clean heated toilet and shower block facility including private washing and dish-washing areas. A laundry facility is available including washing machines, tumble dryers and ironing facilities.
Why not bring your four-legged friend on holiday with you as well? Briarfields is a pet-friendly park although we do request that dogs are on a lead at all times and should not be left unattended.
Situated near to the entrance of the park is our reception where you will always be assured of a warm welcome and with a wide selection of tourist information leaflets, maps and brochures you’ll find everything you need to make the most of your stay.

Wouldn't stay again creativewriter1985 (Young couple, 7 reviews, 0 photos)
Liked: The location was good and it was easy to find. Disliked: I wouldn't stay at this site again. There was nothing massively wrong with it, I just felt it was more geared up for caravans than tents. |

Peaceful, relaxing, clean Terry (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Hardstanding on, I would say, all pitches; area for tents and humungous-sized motorhomes! Disliked: The fact that there is no on-site shop, I didn't like the coded entry to the toilet block (especially after a few beers...kept forgetting the entry code number!). Nearest shop is a Mace (overpriced) store that sell all the things you may need for your camping visit - not easy to find at first, but you'll soon find a shortcut via the tennis courts at the nearby Hilton Hotel. |
